Love the Jeep. It's only slightly dearer than some of the SWB Pajeros I've been looking at as a possible replacement for the Paj Mini, a car that's only done 3000Km since I bought it because it's so well preserved that I've become paranoid about it catching rust, even though it has had £80 worth of Ensis applied to every underneath steel surface and every box session including the chassis and door cavities.
Ironically, the shortness, tight turning circle and skinny body of the Paj make him the perfect city car, especially in Edinburgh where the cuteness of it means that the student population take pity on the big bloke behind the wheel and say encouraging things such as "Oi pal, do they make those in a 44 chest as well?" rather than the usual cries of "Oi, c***, how d'you not take yer big smelly offroad thing and shove it where the monkey shoves his nuts?"
But that Jeep seems cheap and deserves further investigation, though I do also have a nice, low mileage P38 with fully working lifty up suspension and nav screen on my spotcher, but that would definitely annoy the eco aware section of society, especially as it would go whizzing past their stranded Datsun leaves on wintery days.
Edited: Actually, scrub that! Rock aren't showing complete headlamps in stock for the Mr2. Oh, and on checking my insurance, it seems that I'm not covered for a LHD vehicle on the key policy so Range Rover seller might have won themselves a customer simply by supplying their car with a steering wheel that's positioned in front of the driver!
